Crochet Project: Kaleidoscope Blanket

Posted by L^2 _ on Sunday, August 04, 2013 Categories:
Most of my crochet time over the last week has been spent making a fun granny square blanket.

To make this colorful little blanket, I used size F, I, and K hooks with Elegant Yarns Kaleidoscope yarn in "Confetti" and "Sun Rise" colorways and some unlabeled off white colored yarn. I worked 30 basic (3 dc, 2ch) 3-round granny squares out of the colored yarns. Then, I crocheted the squares together, using THIS neat granny square technique. I am pretty obsessive about things lining up, which this joining method does NOT do (as warned in the tutorial), but nonetheless, I really like this method of joining - it almost makes the blanket look like one big granny square.

The result is a neat baby/toddler/pet sized blanket (32 inches by 39 inches) which, as usual, is available for trade.
